Another item is that, when you determine the space you have left to display,
you may need to set the window size in a preOpenStack handler. I'm looking
at one of my onscreen keyboard conversions in Rev for Mac OS 9.2.1., where I
wanted fullscreen graphics, i.e., no window frame, no window controls, no
menubar.

Here's the preOpenStack handler:

on preOpenStack
  set the rect of stack "VirtualKeyboard 1.0.rev" to "0,0,800,600"
  set the decorations of stack "VirtualKeyboard 1.0.rev" to "empty"
  set the resizeable of stack "VirtualKeyboard 1.0.rev" to "false"
  hide menuBar
end preOpenStack


HTH,
